Yori Griffith believes Swansea City Under-18s' victory over Fleetwood Town showed how far the squad have improved over the 2023-24 campaign.

Sammy Henia-Kamau put the Swans a goal to the good inside 10 minutes, but Fleetwood drew level not long after through Rylee Wilkinson's long-range effort.

However, in-form Thomas Woodward would get the Swans back in front after some clever build-up from Griffith and, although the striker would later miss a penalty, the Swans were able to claim all three points and a 2-1 win.

"We showed a lot of hard work and resilience. We went 1-0 up and then conceded not long after, but we didn't give up," said Griffith.

"In the second half, we came out strong and powerful, and we got the second goal.

"The younger players in the team did brilliantly, and the subs made a real impact, it was an overall team effort.

"Woody [Thomas Woodward] and I just know where we both are at all times, we have a great partnership, I know if anyone picks him out he'll score.

"We've come a long way this season, we've had some tough results but now we've got a cup final to look forward to and we want to finish off strongly after all the work everyone has put in.”
